The operation, part of ongoing operations, centered around East Cork.

The more of this that can be done the better for the country.

great to see and as you said, hopefully more of it

At last some good news now they will have to target the rest of the nets and hopefully they might even get the scum who set them

Well done guys a good days work.
Save Our Bass

lets hope the fines and penaltys match the crimes .a slap on the hand is not enough to stop them going straight back at it again

This can only be good news for all anglers. Of course it would have been better if they had caught the low lifes who set the nets, but at least it lets them know they are being watched. I truely hope this is the thin end of the wedge and we see more of it all over the country.

happy days. more of it plse

good to see! Can anyone spot the spot?

At least the net is out of action.Legit question here ,was the offender/offenders caught why pictures of the officers "now" with the net and boxes of bass is this going to be the norm in the future or is it a statement of sorts due to bad publicity recently. Only reason asking is because nets seized in the past were never shown in public,so why now.
Not trying to stir it up just very curious as to why these pics are now in the public domain.Maybe its to put a message out there that the officers do respond to bass netting or maybe its a warning to others who may try make a fast buck by netting a few bass here and there.
At the end of the day its their job!Either way glad that net is gone and good work by all concerned, as it could have done a lot more damage than it did.

I hope this will be an ongoing year-round effort rather than something they'll do when they're not busy during the salmon season.

Good work.

i thought this a bit strange the officers showing there identities does this not make them identifible now to these scumbag?

The wheel begins to turn - in the right direction - great news for many many reasons.

Brilliant news keep it up!!
